Dalton

Dalton, Georgia, is located on the northern edge of this southern state and is home to most of the major carpet manufacturers in the United States. Dalton is rich in both history and southern culture and many of the city's period homes dot the landscape. The Civil War took its toll on Dalton and, as a result, the city is full of Civil War artifacts. Museums, statues, and memorials to this period in America's history are intermingled with carpet factories and industrial plants, giving Dalton an eclectic feel.
